Sacred Heart & Our Lady's

Collaborative 

Newton, MA

The Sacred Heart & Our Lady Help of Christians Collaborative is committed to being a living Gospel to all those we meet.

We strive to encounter Christ, respond in love, and share the Good News of our faith for the realization of God's Kingdom. 

If you are new to this site and to our collaborative, welcome! If you are a long time parishioner, welcome back! We hope you find what you are searching for. 

For weekday morning Masses: if Newton Public Schools are closed or have a delayed opening, the morning Masses at both Sacred Heart and Our Lady’s will be cancelled. This is for the safety of those who attend Mass, and it also allows for the clearing of parking lots and stairways.

For weekend Masses: please check the cancellations list on local TV and radio stations. You can also call either of the parish offices at 617-527-7560 or 617-969-2248 (the greeting will have information) or check here on our homepage to see if Masses have been cancelled. For Our Lady’s weekend Masses: If possible, someone will send an email to the ministry list. If you are scheduled for Mass but personally unable to attend due to the weather, please call 617-527-7560 ext.270 and leave a message.

Remember, we each have a duty to keep ourselves and our family safe. If any Mass has an announced intention and is cancelled, that intention will be rescheduled to the next available Mass
